Art Cover by João Octávius Story by Jason Michael Primrose In a post-apocalyptic world, mythology took a new form. Those creatures of myth we thought to be imagined Gods, were in fact real living beings with abilities and lifespans far beyond our comprehension. The Æncients, aliens from a distant galaxy, have returned to Earth to help usher what's left of humanity into a new age of Utopia, but under their rule. Demetria was a survivor of "the End." And she'd made it through the re-imagining of human existence, alongside her precious daughter Pers'efonie, the one thing that kept her going amidst the turmoil of a broken society. But Pers'efonie has gone missing. It's been more days than Demetria can count. She is just ready to give up when a mysterious message arrives, luring her into a war for the Earth between Æncients and Evolutionaries, with her daughter's life caught in the center of it all.
